Guru Raaj VS Asher Hale!

While neither man made it through their opponents the last couple of weeks, that doesn’t mean these two rising stars are burnt out! Will the Highest Flying Wrestler in India or the Saint of 205 Live rebound back up towards the title chase?

The bell rings and the two circle. Fans rally up, the two feel things out, and Hale gives a testing kick. Raaj stays up but Hale puts him in a corner. Raaj gets away and the two go again. They knuckle lock, Hale headlocks but Raaj powers out. Raaj is feeling great and the CWC like it, and he arm-drags Hale to a corner! Raaj keeps that energy, but Hale waistlocks to drag Raaj down. Hale floats around, waistlocks, but Raaj gets up to work on an escape. They move around, Raaj goes to ropes and he throws Hale out! Hale gets up in a huff but Raaj is still feeling good. Hale gets on the apron, shoulders into Raaj hard, then slingshots up and over.

Hale swings on Raaj but Raaj dodges, comes back and blocks hip toss to arm-drag! Hale comes back but into another another arm-drag, and then Raaj dropkicks him down! Raaj is fired up and Hale gets to a corner. Raaj sees Hale go to the apron and fans rally up, “Let’s Go, Guru!” Hale slowly gets up and Raaj is after him, but Hale gets away. Hale throws body shots through the corner, then pulls Raaj’s hair for a HOTSHOT NECKBREAKER on the crossbar! Raaj falls, Hale gets him up and TOSSES Raaj into boards! Hale refreshes the count, dares Raaj to get up, then KICKS him around the way! Hale puts Raaj in the ring, smirks as he drags Raaj, but Raaj is dead weight.

Hale decides to NECK TWIST Raaj with his feet! And then a scuffing kick! The Saint is a sinner tonight as he taunts and kicks Raaj around. Hale digs his knee into Raaj’s back, and has a neck wrench with his hands. Hale pulls on an arm, gets Raaj up, but Raaj throws body shots! Hale EuroUppers Raaj off his feet then stomps him in the ribs. Hale gets Raaj up again, reels him in, but Raaj blocks the suplex. So Hale gives him a stiff DDT! Cover, TWO!! Raaj survives and Hale snarls. Hale gets Raaj up, suplexes, but Raaj counters to a cradle! TWO, and Raaj turns around into Hale’s POWERSLAM! Cover, TWO! Another cover, TWO! A third, ONE!!

Hale is getting mad as Raaj gets up in a corner. Fans rally, Hale runs corner to corner, but Raaj boots! Hale blocks it, puts the leg on the ropes, and gets the other. Raaj boots free, bobs ‘n’ weaves and fires off body shots! Hale knees hard, clinches to throw more knees, but Raaj blocks and shoves! Raaj runs in to RAM Hale in a corner! Raaj won’t let Hale get away, he keeps RAMMING in his shoulder! The ref counts, Raaj headlocks and BULLDOGS! Cover, TWO! Hale is still in this but Raaj gets him up. Raaj fisherman’s but Hale wrenches free! Raaj breaks the wristlock to KICK the legs over and over! Raaj SHOTGUN DROPKICKS Hale down! Cover, TWO! Raaj grits his teeth as Hale survives!

Hale gets up and KNEES Raaj in the ribs! Hale stomps Raaj’s hands, reels him in, back drop to a flurry of stomps! Hale gets Raaj up again but Raaj CHOPS him! Hale tries again, but Raaj lands on his feet to backslide! Raaj wins!!

Winner: Guru Raaj, by pinfall

Hale is furious that “rookie” Raaj got him! Is the Guru wise beyond his years? Will he be slowly but surely head for the Cruiserweight Championship gold?

Ari Sterling VS Grayson Waller!

After Cameron Grimes cooled him off, The Sauce is back and ready to heat things up again! But the 21st Century Success Story wants to snap back from being smashed by Odyssey Jones in the worst way possible. Will Ari burn it up on the purple ‘n’ orange? Or will Waller be baller with this rebound in the paint?

The bell rings and fans rally for Ari. He and Waller circle, Waller tries testing kicks, and he corners Ari for a second. Waller backs off, he ties up with Ari, and they go around the ring and along the ropes. Waller shoves Ari away and says he’s big and strong, too. They tie up again but Ari shows his strength with a shove. They go again, Waller arm-drags but Ari holds onto the collar ‘n’ elbow. They get up, end up in a corner, and Waller pushes Ari’s face as he lets off. Ari cools off, Waller gets around him, but Ari resists the lift. Fans rally, Waller gets the slam, and then floats to the facelock. Waller floats around again to slap Ari around, but Ari gets up to stare Waller down.

The two go again, Ari waistlocks and Ari gets the slam! Ari has a full mount and slaps Waller around, but Waller gets away to the apron. Fans rally as the two reset. They tie up, Waller goes for an arm, and Waller wrenches. Ari wrenches back to a wristlock, but Waller rolls, handsprings, wrenches and then pie faces Ari. Ari shoves Waller, Waller shoots in to get a waistlock. Ari wrenches free, Waller wrenches back, and Waller kicks Ari’s legs. Ari stays up, rolls, handsprings and flips to WRING Waller, to an armlock! Fans fire up for Ari as he facelocks. Waller gets up as fans rally for “205! 205!” Ari whips, Waller goes up and over and rolls to taunt Ari.

Ari runs in, Waller dodges but Ari goes up and over now! Ari taunts Waller and baits him into the corner! Ari slips to the apron to ROUNDHOUSE Waller, then slingshots in to headscissor Waller away! Waller ends up in the opposite corner, Ari runs in but Waller elbows him away! Waller goes up, jumps and flying arm-drags Ari! Ari gets up and dodges, but handsprings over Waller’s dropdown! Waller trips Ari, stares him down, and things speed up more. Ari hurdles, Waller handsprings, and Waller talks trash only to get run over! Ari grins, he returns the handspring but Waller trips him up! Fans boo but that was clever! Waller CLUBS Ari down, then looms over him.

Waller stomps Ari to ropes, Ari hits back, but Waller wraps Ari’s arm around ropes! The ref counts, Waller lets off, and he gets Ari back up. Fans rally as Waller drops knees into ribs. Ari throws forearms, Waller KICKS away on the leg! Waller hits an ARMBAR DDT! There’s at least one shrill child that thinks “ARI SUCKS!” Waller digs his foot into Ari’s face, the ref reprimands and Waller lets off. Waller gets Ari’s bad arm and isolates it so he can stomp it! Ari clutches the elbow, Waller kicks him in the back! Waller gets Ari up, Ari counters the suplex to a cradle, TWO! Waller takes out a leg! Fans fire up as Waller gets Ari in a motorcycle stretch.

Ari resists, Waller clubs the arms and pulls Ari back! Ari endures the knee in his back, fans rally up, and Ari fights up to his feet. Waller isolates the bad arm but Ari arm-drags free. Waller dodges, but so does Ari! Ari sunset flips, Waller stays up and drags Ari into a TRIANGLE HOLD! Ari scrambles to the ropebreak! The ref counts, Waller lets off, LEG LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Waller is annoyed that Ari survives, and he argues the count with the ref. The count is the count, so Waller just swaggers to get back into the right mindset. Waller wraps Ari’s bad arm on the ropes again, lets off as the ref counts, and then goes up the corner to DUMDUM STOMP the bad arm!

Ari clutches the arm, Waller clamps on and gets the FUJIWARA! Ari endures, crawls, and gets the ropebreak! Waller thrashes as the ref counts, and lets off at 4! Waller stomps Ari, avoids his kicks, but Ari body shots and haymakers! Ari CLUBS Waller, Waller mule kicks and EDDY GORDOS! Cover, TWO!! Ari survives and Waller seethes as he drags Ari up again. Waller torture racks, Ari clasps hands to resist the stretch! Ari fights with his good arm but Waller hits an Argentine Backbreaker to an INVERTED ROLLING SENTON! Waller hammerlocks the bad arm as he has Ari on the ground. Ari snarls, fights up and fans rally behind him!

Ari throws haymakers, CHOPS and repeat! Waller staggers but BOOTS Ari right back down! Waller catches his breath as he gets up, and he watches Ari sit up. Waller gives toying kicks, “I’m not impressed with your performance!” Waller drops elbows and asks, “This is it?!” Waller gets Ari up and goes after the bad arm, but Ari resists the Kimura! Ari throws body shots, Waller wants the double wristlock! Ari throws more body shots and then throws Waller out. Waller lands on his feet but Ari springboards, only for Waller to intercept! Waller drags Ari out with a sleeper! Ari RAMS Waller into apron, arm-drags him off, but Waller BOOTS him again!

The ring count is climbing, Waller goes up and slingshots in to stomp the bad arm! Waller drags Ari into the ring, CLUBS the bad arm, and CLUBS it again. Waller throws body shots but Ari gives forearms! Ari has Waller in a corner, Waller boots him again, then gets up for a DRAPING ARMBAR! The ref counts, Waller lets off, and then Waller somersaults in for the STUNNER! Waller goes up the corner, BALLER ELBOW! Cover, TWO!?! Ari survives and Waller is shocked most of all! Waller watches Ari flounder around and he kicks him down. Fans rally up as Waller gets Ari around to a cobra twist, and then just furious elbows!

Waller clamps harder on the cobra twist but Ari endures! Fans rally back up as Ari fights free and throws elbows. Ari turns things around to rain down rights! Waller wants the Triangle, but then settles for an armbar! Ari clasps hands, moves around, but Waller resists the cover. Ari dead lifts to SLAM Waller, but Waller holds onto the bad arm! Ari stomps Waller in the face! Ari is free, Waller staggers up and fans fire up as Ari ROCKS him with forearms! Waller can’t get his guard up but he kicks the bad arm! Ari catches the clothesline, spins Waller and CLOBBERS him! Ari rallies, runs and WHEEL KICKS!

Waller and Ari are up, fans duel and Ari fires forearms! The bad arm still works enough to back elbow Waller to the apron! Waller shoulders in, but into a kick! Ari runs side to side to SOMERSAULT AX KICK! Waller staggers around on the outside, Ari takes aim, and gives him some MOON-SAUCE! Direct hit and down goes Waller! Fans fire up again and Ari gets Waller up! Ari puts Waller in the ring, fans are fired up for “205! 205!” again, and Ari is up top! Ari aims, for a 450- NO! Waller moves, Ari lands on his feet, but Ari ducks the Leap Frog Stomp! Ari ROCKS Waller, runs corner to corner, but Waller boots him. Ari rolls through to come back, NO HANDS STEINER!!

Waller staggers up, Ari fires up, scoop and BAJA BLAST 86!! Cover, Ari wins!!

Winner: Ari Sterling, by pinfall

Perhaps the hardest fought match for both men since coming to the WWE, and in the end, the Sauce toughs it out and overcomes! Will Ari be waiting in the wings as the NXT Cruiserweight Champion, Kushida, has scores to settle?

My Thoughts:

A very good episode for 205 Live now that we’re past the Breakout Tournament qualifiers. Both matches tonight could’ve gone either way, though there was a good detail that Waller was still undefeated in his weight class, aka Cruiserweight division competition. Raaj VS Hale just had that one rough spot where Raaj’s counter to a suplex inadvertently turned into Hale’s DDT, but he recovered well from it. Raaj winning does make sense, he’s new and looks to have some promise in the Cruiserweight Division given how good he looked back at Superstar Spectacle.

Ari VS Waller was very good, and I guess they figured to just get through with Waller’s “undefeated against Cruiserweights” streak. Though Ari was essentially a Heel in his match with Grimes, he’s a Face on 205 Live and most of the fans seemed to be on his side. There needs to be more integration between NXT and 205 Live, I want to see Ari to get a chance at the Cruiserweight title at some point. Maybe part of why the Breakout Tournament’s prize is a shot for any title is a way to say the winner, if under 205 pounds, could challenge for the Cruiserweight title to elevate the division even more. It probably won’t happen but even just a tease of it would be the best WWE’s done with this division in a long time.

My Score: 8.2/10

Andrew’s TNA iMPACT! Results & Match Ratings: 6.19.25

Are we going to start trending upwards with Slammiversary to build toward?

Published

Andrew Balaz

Last week’s episode was lacking in ring work but had decent story moments and segments. Starting the build to Slammiversary we can either launch nicely or things can always get worse. Jason Hotch and KC Navarro are the real shining stars of the last few months, so lets hope once they get over this Leon Slater idiot ship, they can push X Division wrestlers with actual talent for pro wrestling and not just flippy charisma vacuums.

Oh and let’s not forget, it is the episode they celebrate the 23rd anniversary of TNA! TWENTY – THREE!! Somewhere PCO hates this.

Ratings:

Sami Callihan vs Eric Young w/Losers: EY wins via Piledriver – ** 3/4
Lei Ying Lee & Masha Slamovich vs The Elegance Clique w/M & Personal Concierge: Elegantos win via Rarefied Air – ***
Eddie Edwards & JDC w/Alisha & Brian Myers vs Matt Cardona & Home Town Man: HTM wins via Cradle – *
Champion’s Challenge: The Rascalz, Joe Hendry, Leon Slater & Elijah vs The Kaiba Boys, Moose, Steve Maclin & Trick Williams: Elijah wins via Highwayman’s Farewell – ***

Results:

Sami Callihan vs Eric Young w/Losers

Sami knocks them all off the apron before the bell rings, he levels the loser children, finds a chair, attacks EY but EY counters and this is the excuse to use weapons since the bell didn’t ring yet. EY tries to break Sami’s hand on the steps with the chair, but Sami moves, throws EY back in the ring, bell rings and EY hits a Belly to Belly suplex for two. They slug it out, Sami goes for Headbutts, then Sami wants to run the ropes but a loser trips him, distracts long enough for EY to knock him out of the ring and loser children swarm as loser children do. EY does the classic, throw back out for losers to attack while EY grabs and distracts the ref. Sami is selling a few lame attacks from the losers like he got shot. It’s an excessive sell, so it’s honestly a dumb transitional moment.

EY levels Sami, Lariat into Scoop Slam, looks for the Macho Elbow but Sami hits the ropes to crotch EY. Sami Superplex time, but EY bites the face to make Sami drop, EY jumps at him but eats a straight right hand. Cactus Driver, but no, EY tries his Piledriver…they both gouge eyes at the same time, Sami catches an EY charge into a Flatliner as they’re both down…for…reasons? The selling in this match seems…poorly timed and kinda stupid. Hard Irish Whip, EY Flair Flips the corner, levels Sami, Macho Elbow for 2.9! EY threatens to hit the ref, but then goes to mad dog commentary. EY then wants to attack fans…he’s more unhinged than World Elite EY. Sami gives him the old Dick Twist into a Stunner but only for two! Losers try to distract, first one gets taken out, second one uses a chair, EY hits the Piledriver on Sami, EY wins.

I feel like this is gonna continue for a few weeks since it wasn’t a clean win.

Mustafa Ali’s group comes out, and I refuse to say the name because it’s dumb and they’re already fraying at the seams. Ali wants an apology session, Tasha and Hotch apologize to him but Skyler bites back and refuses, even shoved Ali. So Ali challenges him to a “Call to Arms” match. What in the hell is a Call to Arms match?

Lei Ying Lee & Masha Slamovich vs The Elegance Clique w/M & Personal Concierge

ASH does her borderline racist fake karate before Lei stares her down and tags in Heather. Heather avoids Lei, Lei throws a few Tornado Kicks to make a point and Heather tags out. Heather being 4’8″ helps her here. Concierge says “There’s no Karate in wrestling”. ASH, Lei and Masha are in the ring, ASH is trying to decide who she wants to face, but the Concierge google translated it and hands it to ASH, before the face team rocks ASH. Masha lifts up Lei and Lei does the Liu Kang Bicycle Kick, steering more into her Mortal Kombat aesthetic. Senton off the apron from Lei and Masha dives into the pile, the comedy heels are getting leveled. We go to commercial and come back with Lei getting Double Teamed but she spins it into a weird Neckbreaker..but can’t tag out just yet. Lei blocks Heather, Enzuigiri, simultaneous tag, Masha is Yakuza kicks for all and the 2 for 1 Lariat/DDT special. Near fall, but Masha goes for murder, but Heather breaks it, Rocket Launcher/Code Breaker from Elegance but Lei breaks up the pin. ASH tries to intimidate Lei with her fake Karate before throwing her out of the ring. Heather hits Lei with a handful of Glitter and then bounces her face off the post. Masha tries to stop ASH, Kelly’s music distracts Masha, Rarefied Air gives ASH the win.

Santino comes out and GOD DAMMIT no one wants to see Tommy Dreamer fight Mance Warner…that’s a useless thing. Pivot away…no one wants this. Oh no, now we have to listen to Steph talk too. Okay it seems to be a pivot, thankfully. Steph and Mance talk shit, Dreamer says something about Something is gonna happen…and Jake Something comes out. So…I guess we’re gonna build him up for 2 months and then job him out for 6 before he fucks off to his home galaxy or whatever?

Really wish Indi just opened with the Billy Butcher classic of, “Oi Cunt!” – but this wasn’t bad.

Eddie Edwards & JDC w/Alisha & Brian Myers vs Matt Cardona & Home Town Man

I hate… Cardona so much more now. Heel reasons for Cardona…go away heat for Deaner.

JDC wants the Home Town Man to start…and Deaner does his stupid Flip Flop and Fly, Cardona tags in, JDC is eating some offense, Cardona wants the Reboot, JDC powders, Cardona Dives but then Lish and the general numbers catch up to Cardona. Eddie is legal, and now they isolate Cardona with some decent tandem work and isolation. This turns into kind of a schmoz, lots of silly spots, near falls and then Home Town doofus gets the cradle pinfall on Eddie.

Whenever Deaner is involved I can’t be asked to care. The System beats Cardona and Deaner down, but Eddie did eat a pin. Which is embarrassing not even for work reasons, like it’s just sad.

Champion’s Challenge: The Rascalz, Joe Hendry, Leon Slater & Elijah vs The Kaiba Boys, Moose, Steve Maclin & Trick Williams

Elijah and Nic start things off, slow push off, arm wring, top wristlock, simple chain wrestling start. Nic breaks the chain and hits a Dropkick, Elijah runs the ropes and hits a Diving Lariat and starts the Rope Walk. Nic seems far to awake and alert for that move then, I hate how people pull that off too early. Wentz gets tagged in, Nic tags in Maclin who wasn’t looking for a tag, but him and Wentz have a nice clash, Trey tags in, they try to double him, but they pause and look at each other. Maclin asks for a tag, no one tags him so he Chops Ryan to tag him in and throws him in.

The little nod to Maclin and Rascalz history and the fact the faces realize Maclin isn’t a piece of shit. A little MCMG homage tandem attacks on Ryan, Wentz punctuates with the Handspring Knee Lift, Ryan tags out to Trick. Trick and Wentz go back and forth, Rascalz have Trick eating offense, Moose tries to slow things down, both Trick and Moose powder, Rascalz Double Golden Triangle Moonsaults. Trey gets tripped by Nic, Moose hits Lights Out, but there’s no referee so it’s a little chaotic.

Out of the commercial things are controlled kinda and we see a simultaneous tag to Moose and Leon. Leon comes out hot, level Moose with a Leg Lariat, attacks Nic Nemeth, attacks Ryan, and then Moose hits Leon with the Stun Gun. Moose looks to tag in Maclin but Maclin jumps off the apron. Trick takes the tag, keeps control, Trick forcibly tags in Maclin but Ryan tags himself in and pulls Leon to the Champions’ corner, Nic tags in and isolates Leon, with the Kaibas quick tagging and keeping Leon down.

Moose tags in, tries to Suplex Leon about four times but Leon stops it then counters the Suplex. Moose tries to cut him off, but the Champions distract the ref so the ref can’t see Leon tag out. Nic and Moose doubling up and Leon is the bump guy of this last portion of the match. Big Uranage from Moose…Moose looks for Lights Out but Small Package almost ruined things, Body Scissors Cradle, GAME CHANGER! Moose looks to hit a Jacknife Powerbomb but Leon turns it into a DDT. Maclin and Ryan start fighting, Nic Superkicks Maclin, Hendry and Nic tag in, Hendry is a house of fire. Sack of Shits for everyone! Nic, Ryan, there’s a pause when Hendry is face to face with Trick and Trick gets Uppercuts first then Sack of Shit! Standing Ovation on Nic, but Ryan blocks, Kaibas try a tandem attack but Hendry Lariats them both. Elijah tags in and is the maestro of the crowd and chopping Ryan to some fun. Ryan goes for a Polish Hammer but eats the Knee Lift. Signature spam time…

Ryan tries to use the International title but Maclin grabs the title away from Ryan, clocks Nic, Standing Ovation into the Highwayman’s Farewell. Champions lose!

Overall Score: 4/10

Well this was a rough one boys and girls. Sami and EY was just an overbooked shitshow, Lei Ying Lee is unfortunately in a spot where it’s obvious TNA has no clue how to use her, the Elegantos are the New Beautiful People, and I’m not mad at that. But you need to space out your goofball crap. You can’t have Elegance Clique, Home Town Moron and Santino in 3 consecutive segments. And if anyone goes “it was 3 out of 4” that’s doesn’t lessen my point, the beauty of Pro Wrestling being a variety show is…FOR VARIETY! When the lead match feels stupid because of bad pacing, poor selling and overbooking with two losers, it feels like a useless match with idiots, then comedy, followed by more comedy…you see how that’s literally NOT VARIETY.

Figure it out seriously. This was a disappointing episode. If you’re a casual viewer than it’s just chalk for TNA doing cringe and borderline goof crap since they’ve always steered a little more into the carny than other companies. But this show was…where’s Jisoo and Jenny? I feel like I need that gif:

Then, Athena & Red Velvet take on Thunder Rosa y Persephone in a dream tag team match! Will the champions of ROH stand tall in Arena Mexico? Or will there be golden tickets handed out left and right?

Pure Rules Match: Deonna Purrazzo VS Marti Belle!

While the ROH Women’s Pure Championship tournament still needs a full bracket, the Virtuosa is going to keep herself sharp for when she needs to strike. But will there be another masterpiece put together here tonight? Or will Marti prove she herself deserves a chance at making history?

The Code of Honor is upheld and the bell rings. We have 15 minutes as the two circle. They feel things out, knuckle lock, and then Deonna kicks an arm to wrangle Marti with the top wristlock. Marti rises up, rolls, and wrenches to wristlock. Deonna wrenches and headlocks to hit the takeover. Marti endures, fights up, powers out, but Deonna RUNS her over! Deonna soaks up the cheers and jeers, runs, then steps over Marti’s dropdown to “kick dirt” at her. Deonna eggs Marti on and the two reset. They tie up, Marti waistlocks but Deonna switches. Marti switches, lifts, but Deonna fights. Deonna ELBOWS free, then goes after Marti in the corner.

Deonna whips corner to corner, runs up, but Marti slips outside. Deonna ROCKS Marti first, soaks up more cheers and jeers, then runs, only for Marti to dodge the dropkick! Marti fires forearms, whips, but Deonna reverses and throat chops! Deonna sends Marti into steel steps! The fans are torn but Deonna wants the ring count. Deonna says it is just too easy, and Marti is rising up as the count starts. Deonna eggs Marti on, the fans rally, and Marti huffs ‘n’ puffs. Marti rolls in at 5 of 20 but Deonna stomps away! The ref counts, Deonna stops at 4, and Deonna wrenches. Deonna YANKS Marti’s arm, then wrenches again to YANK it!

Marti clutches the arm but Deonna reels her into a facelock. Marti fights the suplex, makes it a cradle, ONE!! Deonna runs up, Marti rolls her up, TWO! Marti spins and ROLLING ELBOWS! Deonna falls and the fans fire up! Deonna goes to a corner, Marti runs in, but Deonna dodges! Marti hits buckles, then Deonna blocks a boot to THROW Marti down! Deonna has the arm and the leg, then focuses on the arm to make a SACRIFICE! The fans are torn but Deonna feeds off it all. Deonna demands Marti to rise up, and as we hit four minutes, Deonna SOBATS, runs, and KNEE LIFTS into the RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP!

Deonna rolls through, FUJIWARA ARMBAR!! Marti endures, reaches out, but Deonna grabs that arm, too! VENIS DE MILO!! Marti verbally quits and Deonna wins!

Winner: Deonna Purrazzo, by submission

Neither woman used a ropebreak in this match, and Deonna didn’t need to! At just four minutes and 24 seconds, Deonna finishes this. Will she not only become ROH Women’s Pure Champion, but do it in record time?

The Frat House speaks.

Jacked Jameson says, “Yeah, Johnny Hungy? Johnny Starving For Attention! You wanna come back and try and get one up on The Frat House? I don’t think so, pal! And Reynolds, you talking about I got a tiny package? I got a small package, in the ring, yeah! If you’re talking about this package, ask your girl!” Preston Vance says yes, good package. But Dark Order, Vance has hated them from the beginning. They call him a traitor when he just did something for himself for once. He hates Uno, he hates Reynolds, but the one he hates the most is Silver. Starving for attention, always has been, same guy since day one!

Dark Order wants a trios match? They’ll take you up on that. But remember the one rule: Win or lose, they BOOZE~! The Frat House marches off, cheering themselves on. But will they be humbled when Uno, Silver & Reynolds finally get a back on track?

Mark Sterling reviews footage with The Premier Athletes.

Smart Mark looks back at a loss The Premier Athletes suffered against the Sons of Texas, and he points out specifically when Dustin Rhodes grabbed him, TOSSED him, and that is assault on a ringside consultant. That is why Sterling has the cameras here. He wants to inform Tony Nese & Ariya Daivari that the State of Michigan sports authority agreed with him, that match was tainted and therefore expunged from their records, along with a few others. But then, that means they’re undefeated? Yes! Their record is spotless now! Daivari says he isn’t sure about them, but he was pretty confident he heard way less “Athletes Suck” chants than usual. Almost 50-50 out there.

Nese says Shop AEW has not seen a single soul buying the Athletes Suck shirt. Great news! And bad news for the rest of ROH. There is nothing scarier than a couple of athletes with momentum. They will take this momentum and go straight to the ROH World Tag Team Championships. Y’know why? Because Athletes RULE! Well, one thing these three haven’t lost is their confidence. But will legal loopholes and changing grades really turn them into champions?
